Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1887-12-28

At this season of the year some are
out of employmen and perhaps a
few are needy. Interest should be
taken in the condition of some of the
poorer families and aid should be
given where it is needed. No one
should be allowed to suffer because
of the lack of any of the necessaries
of life.
A use for wild buckwheat has been
discovered at last. The Browns Val
ley Reporter says that the farmers OF
that section have learned by expert
ment that it is good for fuel. An ele-
vator there is using it for that pur.
pose. II it is really valuable i'll this
way, it will pay farmers to clean their
wheat before marketing it, more gen.
orally than they now do, so to have
the buckwheat to burn themselves.
Willmar Republican: There is a
we'll in the railroad yard which up to a
short time ago supplied an abundance
of water for the two large tanks i'll
the yard. About ten days ago the
water gave out entirely in the well,
and it became necessary to pump
from the lake. A few days later the
well suddenly filled up nearly to the
top. This was pumped out, and the
well is now dry again-no more water
to be had.
In an exchange we find the follow
ing easy method of loading live hog
into q wagon: "Back the wagon up
to the pen. place two pianks side by
side, with one end in the wagon, the
other OH the ground, making an in
clined plane. Then turn the hog with
his tail toward the wagon, put bas-
ket over his head, as he steps back to
get his head out, follow HIM up TAX
ing care that he does not step over
the side, and to his surprise he will
find himself in the wagon without q
struggle"
In spite of snow and storm the
streets last week were frequently
thronged with ladies buying Christ
mas presents and at times some of
the stores were literally crowded. The
stores were all handsome in appaar-
ance. Every window had been fixed
up TO look its prettiest, the one great
object being to attract a crowd. The
of goods were aad are prob
ably larger and handsomer than were
ever seen i'm Morris before. The size
of the mails were increased and the
express business for few days was
simply immense.
A young man from Cyrus while in
town about ten days ago and attempt
ing to lead his team to the lake to
water had the horses jerk away from
him and run. We understand the
man hasInot been able to get any
trace of the animals since. We u@-
derstand also that there is stray
team at Mr.. Hanrahau's in the town
of Darnen. Now if this proves to be
the team our Cyrus friend is looking
for, he should call at the office
and pay for this notice and
subscribe for the TRIBUNE also and
pay for it two years i'll advance.
A correspondent gives the following
method of wintering cabbage: "Sink
an empty flour or cracker barrel into
the ground, fill with cabbages, proper
ly trimmed, aud put seme forest
leaves or straw Oh top ofthem. Keep
rain and snow off by q suitable cover
ing or roofing Ia this way the cab
bages are accessible at any time, just
as well as If they were stored in the
celller. 1 am, from principle, op-
posed to storing perishable articles in
the celler under the dwelling house.
Outside is MUCH mare Room and q
much safer place for vegetables to
rot than right under one's nose:n
H. J. Dresser, secretary of the Pope
and Stevens County Breeders Asso-
citation in recent issue of Farm
Stock and Home says: II under
stand it is reported by a certain
stockman that our French Coach
stallion "Superb," is not an imported
horse. RI the party has good grounds
for his statement it is duty lie owes
the public to make it known through
ths columns Of g9mtlef FARM and stock
paper. The hoFse is pot to blame for
not being unsound in limb and wind:
IF the gentlemen will come out above
board we will be glad to show the
breeding of the horse to his satisfac-
tion."
